1 The present invention relates to the art of permanent waving of hair,,and at present it is generally customary to apply permanent waves infche hair by the application of electricaljheat. Suchprocess in-- general con sists in combing the hair and twisting 'or wrapping a number of strands .of'hainzit different locations on the head about an elec trical heating implement, the Wrapping be ing commenced about an inch or inch and a half from the scalp. ,This process has many disadvantages. In the first place due to the wrapping commencing an inch or inch and permanently waved, lies close to the scalp, when the hair is dressed and arranged, Secondly it is well known that electric.al per-v:

Ina-nent waving of hair takes' all the life from the hair, practically killsfit, makes'it brittle .and removes the oil, and very often I strands breaking atfivarious points between of strands, and what strength may be pro- I cured from ,theroots is of very little good; 1 as the hair-Where it is permanently waved is beingrejuvenated, fact themain idea in the present everyday-process of fipermathe hair terminalsand' where the permanent waving commences, It other words constant waving of the hair in fivefito ,ten years, causes the hair to have uneven lengths not of a character to absorb the strength, and thereby rendering the Ellili-I' incapableof nent waving, consists inwaving or bending the hair atasubstantial distance beyond-{the I follicles or roots .of ithe hair. 1 I

- The present invention and process result ting/during use of this invention. deviates primarily from the .oldniethod .as above identified, in the fact of growingua permanent wave in the hairybye'bending the hair immediately :at the folliclesior roots. To

carry out this thought andidea it is the aim to reverse the position of the hair beyond and commenclngat the root follicles, caus ingthe hair to fluff and position away from 'the;soalp after the removalof the bandeau, and after thehai-r has increased in {length a a permanent wave grows in the strands "of hair, giving the hair when dressed a'beautifill and natural appearance, not'only being pleasing to the; eye, but particularly softening the features vof the wearer, which as is ease in permanent electrically heating well known is .not the waving of thechair by implements.

To rformxthm result,,th e invention has for its purposeto providean i nproved 'bair dean made of any suitable fabric material preferably porous cloth with elastic insets so arranged vin'ithe bands as to provide for substantial'tension on the head and thereby hold the hair bent at the root follicles and as a result causing the'hair to grow or train upward, the whole scheme consisting in reverse training of the hair, hence causing a substantial permanent wave .to growin the hair beyond the root follicles.

A further purpose consists 1n constructing the insets of 7 substantial elastic material, 7 preferably porous elastic material of a texture suitably bands themselves, permitting the elastic porgrea-ter than the texture ofthe tionsof the insetsto-not only yield properly,- but to afford a substantial tension on the hair tovhold the hair in bent position at rootfolliclesof the strands,it' being noted that the insets are capableof yielding in direction with the length of the bands,and

incapable of yielding'indirections at right anglesthereto, so as to hold'the strands of hair .at the desired-position causing a substantial permanent wave to result,;when the hair has receivedthe proper growth.'-

It is to be understood thatthe particulars herein given are-in no way 'limitative, and that while still keepingflwithin the scope of Y the invention, any desired modification of 7 details and proportions may be made in the construction of the-bandea'u'an'd the method T Figure 2 is'a sectional viewon line 2 -2 of resulting fromthefuse of the bandeau.

Figure 51s a view of the bandeau fiattened out, showing all of itsstructural fea tures. v i H V Referring tofthe' drawings: 1 7 identifies the bandeauas a whole, which consistsof the -main band 2 whichengages withthe back ofthe head, with the end portions 3 brought nect.

forward in contact with the sides of the head above, the ears, with the terminals fastenedtogether .at l'by any suitable means preferably straps 5 and b'uckles or the like 6. The lower edges of the end portions 3 of the band ,2 are cut away arcuately to make room or provide' spa cefor the accommodation of the ears. Howevershould the end permanent waving may observe that the ears are more or less protruding in which case the operator will purposely engage the band over the ears to flatten them to the head, as this isan essential desire of many of the female sex, a V The lower portion of the band2 at the rear has an elastic inset, made 'of any-suitable material, preferably elastic porous'cl'oth,

and the'elasticity of this inset 7' isin a direction with the lengthlof the band, inte'nsayi g; the tension oftheband onthe'headand insuring holding the hair close in contact with-the head.

' As is understood the hair is previously re:

jversedly combed, in other words combed up tight against the scalp, the band 2 then being applied.

, To turther insure tension of the bandeau to the head, theend portions 3-.o-f the band 2'are provided withinsets'S, which are also,

constructed of any suitable material pref erably elastic porous cloth, and as with the inset in the back their elasticity, is in a" direction with the length of the band. These insets are connected to the bandin a'ny'suitable approved manner, possibly by means of stitches as indicated at v9,the edge portions of the insets consisting of a closer weave of the elastic porous cloth than the bodies of the insets, the-(:lilierence ofweave being indicated as 1 illustrated, andthereby providing a substantial body, to i which the cloth of the band may be'attached' without undue tearing. These insets have their margmal edges constructedto avoid frayed or selvageportlons,

Merging preferably.

integrally from the band 2 to the back is a head crownenga'ging band 10 which is of a substantial size," suflicient to conform and fittingly engage with the crown of the heath This band '10; I

extendsjforward over the crown and down common junction 4:, that is where the terminals of the end portlons of the band 2 con-v This connection is assured by any over the forehead and is connected at'the Y suitable n iea ns, preferably the same fasten,--

ings as used for the terminals of the end. portions of the band 2. The band '10 is also I providedajwith 'inset- .11; similar in construction to thesinsets in the band: 2..,T-he factisthis inseti'll is. alsouconstructed ofany suitable material preferably elastic porous cloth, identical in construction and :design with those {in the band 2.. VInJa like-manner the elasticity of the inset 11 is alsoin a direction with the length of the band 10 The. ,purpose.,-o.f the inset lll'is likewise similar to that of the insets in the band 2, name- 1y to hold the hair tight against the crown of the head, in fact in contact with the entire area of the top of the head. The insets cause the bandeau to shape or conform to and fittingly engage with the head, so as to insure holding the strands of hair in their reverse positions. g

Prior to positioning the band 10 and subsequently to arranging the band 2 the s the right prior to positioning the band 10, while thestrands to the right are positioned strands of hair on the top of the head are arranged reverse to the positions the strands of hair previously assumed. In other words if the wearerparts the'hair onthe right hand side combing the longer strands to the left, the strands to the left are reversedto to'the left, previous to the positioning the band 10. After removing the bandeau, it having been worn a substantial period of time, and the hair dressed as desired by the wearer, the hair will flufl' away from the scalp, assuming a natural wave, one more fitting to the features of the wearer and beautifying the face, and thereby softening the general'appearance of the head and face- Each time the bandeau is applied and then removed the strands of hair at their root follicles receive an additional bend, the hair in the meantime having grown a certain dis tance, in this way a permanent wave is grown in the strands of hair by the bending of'the strands at their root follicles, that is by a reverse training of the hair. Prior to.

each application of the bandeau a requisite quantity of any suitable oil dressing is thoroughly massaged into the scalp and into theroot follicles, as well as into the hair in general, and thereby softeningthe texture.

of the hair; The marginal edge of the entire bandeau is finished off as at 12, since it is preferably made of a suitable porous knit cloth, so as to avoid frayed portionsor selvage, and thereby provide avery essential and suitable article of manufacture,

such as a permanent wave bandeau.

By applying the bandeau periodically variably it is possible to grow into the hair 'waves of varying lengths, that iswhen applied at'conjunction with reversed training l of the hair.
